I have a problem that has developed over the past month. The engine seems to hesitate when I give it heavy throttle. Actually the best way to describe it is like a turbocharger. If I am cruising at like 25 mph and hit it - It starts to accelerate some as soon as I move the throttle. Then about 1.5-2 seconds later - it really takes off hard all the way to the redline. It should have the harder acceleration from the time I put the throttle down and be smooth. There is a noticeable jerk when it does take off. Another way I can describe it is it feels like the 2nd two barrels of the 4 barrel are opening late. It feels like I get max accelleration from the two barrrels and then the second two pop open all the way open and it takes off after about 2 seconds. If I am pulling up a light border I can't feel any hesisitation. But if I am yanking up a heavy boarder and give it some heavier throttle, I can feel it do the hesitation. Any ideas? I am going to take the air filter off this weekend while on the lake and see what the carb is doing. This may be a tough one to track down. It is the PCM 351 engine. 90 Supra Comp TS6M
